Answer:

Both proportions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two proportions \frac{40}{8}=\frac{x}{10} and \frac{x}{40}=\frac{10}{8}. We are asked to find why the solutions to our given proportions are equal.

We can solve proportions by cross multiplying them.

After cross multiplying our both proportions we will get same equation that is:

40*10=8*x

400=8x

8*x=40*10

8x=400

Since we get same equation after cross multiplying both proportions, therefore, the solutions to the given proportions would be same.

Part ion even know of the hardest test
ladessa [460]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2

A line passes through the point (-5,-3) and perpendicular to the given line.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b                 ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+2          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-\dfrac{5}{7}

We know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

m_1\times m_2=-1

-\dfrac{5}{7}\times m_2=-1

m_2=\dfrac{7}{5}

Slope of the required line is \dfrac{7}{5} and it passes through the point (-5,-3). So, the equation of the line is:

y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)

y-(-3)=\dfrac{7}{5}(x-(-5))

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x+5)

Using distributive property, we get

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}(x)+\dfrac{7}{5}(5)

y+3=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7

y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+7-3

y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=\dfrac{7}{5}x+4. Hence, option A is correct.

Answer:

  r = ±√47

Step-by-step explanation:

  -7r^2 = -329 . . . . given

  r^2 = 47 . . . . . divide both sides by -7 (multiplication property of equality)

  r = ±√47 . . . .  square root both sides (square root property of equality)

If 25% of 150 is equal to 700 percent of n, then what number is n equal to?
Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

"Of" means multiplication, and percent means out of 100.

25/100 × 150 = 700/100 × n

75/2 = 7n

n = 75/14

n ≈ 5.357

Consider the dot plot below. Of the following statements, which two characteristics of this dot plot make the median a better ch
hammer [34]

The two characteristics that makes the median a better choice are: A. The data are skewed and there are outliers.

<h3>What Characteristics of a Dot Plot Makes Median a Better Choice?</h3>

In a data distribution, the median is a better choice to use to describe the data over the mean when an outlier exist and the data is skewed.

IN the dot plot given below, the data has an outlier of 10 while the data distribution is also screwed, this makes the median a better choice.

Therefore, the answer is: A. The data are skewed and there are outliers.
